Space
The 519 is relaunching our Return Application Process for ongoing space use by community-led groups.
We are The 519, your community centre. And together, there’s no going backwards.
For nearly 50 years, we’ve relentlessly fought alongside our communities, advocating for our rights and building a better world for 2SLGBTQ+ people. We’ve been by your side, fighting inch by painstaking inch, for safe spaces, legal protections, and moments of acceptance and affirmation.
This shared history is a testament to the power of community action. But the fight isn’t over. In a way we have not seen for many years, a rising anti-2SLGBTQ+ backlash seeks to send our progress backwards.
Our communities won’t go backwards. Our past victories fuel and inspire us, but retro has no place in 2SLGBTQ+ rights.
Together we’re asking you not just to help fight back, but to generously power this fight forwards. Forwards towards a world where every 2SLGBTQ+ person is loved, safe, and connected to their community.
Your support amplifies our critical everyday work to advance the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Thank you!
